Loved her, obviously as Dana Scully in The X-Files a couple decades back, but she shines in so many new works including Sex Education and now, The Crown. Let's see what UTA (USA agency) will do to pump up her career even more!

November 20, 2020

Peter White writes:

The Hollywood talent agency has signed the actress, who broke through in Fox’s The X-Files, in all areas. Deadline understands that Anderson had been without a U.S. agent but over the course of her career has been represented by WME and CAA.

It is a hot signing for UTA with Anderson scoring plaudits for her role in the British royal drama. She stars as the former Prime Minister alongside Olivia Colman and Helena Bonham-Carter in the fourth season of the show, which was created by Peter Morgan.

Anderson told Deadline earlier this year that she never hesitated at the prospect of playing a PM who many consider tyrannical. “No hesitation at all,” she said. “There are a few things in life where, if they come your way, you just know you have to say yes, before the fear says no. But certainly, as we got closer to filming, I almost died. My heart has never beat so fast in all of my life.”

Anderson is currently filming the third season of Netflix’s Sex Education. She plays Dr. Jean Milburn, a complicated therapist in the comedy drama. Elsewhere in TV, she is perhaps best known for her role as Special Agent Dana Scully, which earned her an Emmy, a Golden Globe and two SAG awards. She starred in over 200 episodes of Fox’s sci-fi drama between 1993-2002 as well as its 2016-2018 reboot. Other roles on the small screen include Bleak House, Hannibal, American Gods and War and Peace as well as miniseries Great Expectations and thriller The Fall. 

On the film side, she has starred in The House of Mirth, The Mighty Celt, The Last King of Scotland, Johnny English Reborn, Shadow Dancer, Sold and Viceroy’s House as well as Crooked House alongside Christina Hendricks and Glenn Close, The Spy Who Dumped Me and The Sunlight Night.

She has also tread the boards with roles such as Margot Channing in Ivo van Hove’s West End adaptation of All About Eve as well as Blanche Dubois in Benedict Andrews’ production of A Streetcar Named Desire, earning her Olivier nominations for both performances. Other UK theatre credits include What the Night is For at the Comedy Theatre, The Sweetest Thing in Baseball at the Royal Court Theatre and A Doll’s House at the Donmar Warehouse.

2021 Oscars - What to expect: 10 Nomination Predictions for Best Picture

With the beginning of every New Year comes much thought, speculation and anticipation about the year’s upcoming Academy Awards nominations. Expectations and forecasts spin around as film lovers around the world are curious which films will be in the running! Theatres and cinemas around the globe have been locked down for most of 2020 and beyond, so very few of the contending films actually had Box Office exposure, if any sort of theatrical release whatsoever. However, most of the predicted contending films have been, or soon will be, aired on streaming sites like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Disney Plus and some are even streaming for free on YouTube. Additional “predicted to be nominated” films, yet to be released, (Nomadland, Minari and The Father - all scheduled for release in February) may or may not hit the theatres and the accessibility to pre-watch these “predicted to be nominated” Best Pictures will certainly be different for audiences than in previous years. Also, with th...

Male Sexiness in this Modern Age: What's a "Real Man" These Days, Anyway?

In the past few years, Hollywood has recast the male Adonis as slim, bookish, and emotionally available. Some men aren’t happy about it. Where does that leave you? On April 13, 2021, Mitchell S. Jackson of Esquire writes: "You might’ve noticed that Hollywood has been remaking, or at least diversifying, the attributes of male sex symbols and, you could argue, manhood itself right alongside them. Exemplars of this en vogue masculinity are less the musclebound, taciturn, and seldom-emotive men of yore but slim, bookish, sometimes awkward, and empathic types, some of whom are daring against gender boundaries: Timothée Chalamet, Harry Styles, Shawn Mendes, etc.  Let’s unpack a bit, shall we? The fact that Hollywood’s new standard-bearers of masculinity are young white men shouldn’t be no big old surprise. (Jaden Smith and Tyler, the Creator touted as equal paragons? Not so much.) This goes back to eighteenth-century art-history pioneer Johann Winckelmann, who extolled th...
